Sharp rise in dengue, state saw 2,299 cases last year [1]

Hyderabad: The dengue virus is more widespread than estimated, as India alone accounted for 33 million infections in 2012, according to a study published by Oxford University researchers on April 7.

While the World Health Organisation estimates the number to be 100 million worldwide, the study claims that in 2012, about 390 million people suffered from dengue.
